Topic	American factories are desperate for workers. It's a $1 trillion problem....
Snakebone99 05/04/21 3:03:04 PM #175:	PoundGarden posted... Whats the cost of living like? I just moved from MN and work at a shitty factory (Amazon) started at about $14-$15, most were $18 and up. Higher cost of living. Just moved to Iowa and the pay is about the same, some factories start as low as $11 but the cost of living is dirt cheap. Costco i have heard nothing but good things about, can't comment on them much. Walmart and most other retailers though, they love to advertise attractive hourly wages but don't tell people they aren't getting 40 hrs/wk. Hell, $20 an hour does me no good if I'm only getting 15-20 hrs/wk Cost of living is super cheap compared to most places, but $8.00 an hour, $320 a week, still isn't going to cut it. So hard working factories paying that low is ridiculous, while a pizza delivery boy can make $500 a week in cash for just driving around. The factories are never going to get enough employees unless they compete. If I can make the same money with not even half the work, why wouldn't I? It just leaves me with more energy to do other things. <cite>Snakebone99 posted [p:953549757] in American f...
